Review: Fey by C.S. Feldman

Genre:
Contemporary Fantasy/Myths

Description:

“Nessa
Donnelly never expected to see her estranged and eccentric father
again, but a phone call summons her back to her hometown and to the
hospital in which the elder Donnelly lies in a comatose state for
which his doctors have no explanation. Bit by bit, long-buried family
secrets emerge, and Nessa begins to realize that those secrets were
kept hidden from her for a reason.

She
also realizes that there is something in the woods behind her
father’s house that he never told her about, something that can’t
be explained. And she is also not as alone in his house as she
thought she was…”

and screenplays. Stop by and say hi on Facebook” Also check outher website for an upcoming release.

Appraisal:

This
fantasy novella seems to be Ms. Feldman’s debut. I found this tale
enthralling and well written. If you are not familiar with Fey folk
this is an excellent introduction to them. I was a bit puzzled about
Nessa in the beginning. She’s aloof and seems uncaring, but as the
story unfolds one begins to understand why she is the way she is.
Nessa’s story is unique and as it unfolds she is presented with a
mystery that must be solved rather quickly to save herself as well as
her sick father. The dynamics of the relationships in this story is
what brings the story full circle. The fact that there was a majestic
cock in the story was a bonus for me.

This
is a quick story with some important lessons about looking at life or
situations from different points of view to understand and see the
full picture. The Fey puts an interesting spin on the whole story. I
hope to see more stories like this from Ms Feldman in the future.

Thanks for dropping in and commenting, Mr. Campbell. Now you are going to have to let me know what you think when you read it. The pressure is on me now! I think you will like it though, it has magical realism woven through it as well, I think. It is all magic to me and I still have some trouble differentiating between the two.
